Your neighbours sound pretty antisocial.... I'm not sure what the solution would be, its very difficult to quantify noise since it is perceptive.... I think they probably don't realise that they are being so noisy, and if there is alcohol involved then I suspect that is a large factor.... People don't realise how loud and antisocial they are being when pissed out of their brains.
I don't know what you can do except the official complaining route... You might be able to contact the owners of the house next year, the ones who's daughter will be living in the house. Maybe explain that you've had HUGE problems in the past with students, and have had to take them to environmental health... Many landlords will consider putting a clause in the contract to say excessive noise and upsettng neighbours is an evictable offense....
Even then if they don't want to know then maybe it is wise to do the environmental health thing before you go completely batty with the noise.... The landlords will hear about it if a formal complaint is made and often they can warn the students (altho that may not work, we have received an environmental health warning cos of one of my housemates bedrooms being the most disgusting skank hole I have ever had the misfortune to see - despite 2 written warnings he hasn't really cleared it... We've told him if we lose deposit we'll make him pay it.... He's not a bad person, just inherently lazy and childish in a 'if im not told how long I have, what exactly to do, how and when to do it - i won't do anything'.)
Many of these environmental things do indeed escalate where each side makes noise to piss off the other... I suspect avoiding temptation to be noisy at 7am may help, but my personal approach would be to do it anyways cos I'm like that ;-)
How about when the new people move in send them a letter introducing yourself, and welcoming them to the area, and within the context of this explain that noise transmission between the houses happens very easily, and saysing although you don't mind occasional parties and such the like you would be distressed by regular disruption to your sleep. You could ask that if they know they are to have a party that a note through your door would be appreciated, and that you'd be happy not to disturb them when they has occasional parties.?
Anyways i'm not saying anything revelational so I'm gonna sign off and find some munchies in the skank pit I live in ;/
Hugs and best of luck with these student types Natalya
